Journal of Craniofacial Surgery in the Journal Citation Reports 2026: Current Metrics and Emerging Trends
1Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Gaziantep University.
Abstract:
The Journal Citation Reports (JCR) remains one of the most widely used tools for evaluating the academic performance of scientific journals. This study aimed to assess the current bibliometric performance of the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery using the Journal Citation Reports 2026 data and to compare the findings with previous years. Current journal metrics, including the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), Journal Citation Indicator (JCI), total citations, category rankings, quartile status, and open-access performance, were analyzed. According to the JCR 2026, the journal achieved a JIF of 1.1, representing the second-highest value in its history, while the total citation count reached a record high of 13,861. The journal maintained its third-quartile (Q3) position in the Surgery category despite increasing competition resulting from recent methodological changes in the JCR. Open-access articles accounted for a disproportionately higher percentage of citations relative to their publication rate, suggesting a potential citation advantage. Overall, the findings indicate that the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery has continued to strengthen its academic visibility and scientific influence while maintaining stable performance in an increasingly competitive publishing environment.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
